Aerobic exercise and training with weights are an effective treatment for a fatty liver
According to a study conducted by Iranian scientists, aerobic training or training with weights helps in the treatment of fatty liver. The scientists investigated the effects of aerobic training, training with weights (at best with supplements) or no training on the fat content of the liver and the levels of liver enzymes. The aerobic training consisted of 45 minutes of endurance training, while the training with weights consisted of sets of 10 repetitions of seven exercises.
Both forms of training reduced the fat content of the liver and improved body composition and liver enzyme profile in middle-aged people suffering from fatty liver. Fatty liver, which is characterized by fat accumulation in the liver, is usually caused by obesity or excessive alcohol consumption.
Training with weights or aerobic exercise are effective ways to treat this health problem.
